   I'm not an expert by any means, but if you are having problems at that distance, maybe you should be using a .22lr

     @deprecated_ii again I'm not an expert, but I think it's a matter of projectile speed versus target composition and bullet energy. Inflexible target + lots of energy means ricochet.
     
     I know just enough to be terrified about shooting high powered rilfes with an unknown hill behind you ( because there might be rock )

     @sickburnbro shrapnel/bounce back is practically guaranteed when you crater steel by shooting it so close. hit the crater again and parts of the bullet tend to come right back at you
     
     minimum distance for 5.56mm is usually stated as like 150 yards for steel targets, 100 yards for 308 (because it's slower). those are handgun targets

     Guy's posting about the shrapnel danger and he's not even wearing his safety glasses ffs. These are the people AI should replace.

     @EvilSandmich for sure, but muzzle velocity of 22lr is way way way lower than .223

     @sickburnbro That distance is really only safe-safe for pistols. Even if that AR was chambered for 22lr it would still be too damn close.

     @EvilSandmich I'm trying to be charitable - "person is learning to fire rifle ( needs to get used to barrel weight ) and will quickly move to farther distance"

     @sickburnbro @EvilSandmich 22 also uses unjacketed lead bullets which lose more energy to deformation and damage targets less.
     For those not aware, this was a campaign event for Lucus Kunze, Democrat candidate for Senate in Missouri. Running as marine veteran and trying to show he's not going to take away your scary black rifle.
